• Paranoia Text Encryption PRO is a universal text encryption application for iOS (iPhone/iPad/iPod) and macOS by Paranoia Works. • Paranoia Text Encryption ensures the safety of your notes, SMS messages, emails, social networking posts, cryptocurrency keys (seeds, mnemonics), and any other text from all unwanted readers. • The app offers true security, encrypting data using the strongest encryption algorithms available: Threefish 1024-bit, SHACAL-2 512-bit, Paranoia C4 2048-bit (a cascade of Threefish, Serpent, AES, and SHACAL-2), Blowfish 448-bit, AES 256-bit, RC6 256-bit, Serpent 256-bit, and Twofish 256-bit ciphers. • Simply copy and paste text to and from your favorite applications, or save it to a file for future use. • This app does not function as a "Vault application." Instead, a password is set for the current encryption/decryption session, not for entering the app itself. You may have an unlimited number of passwords for any purpose—different files, tasks, people, etc. • Steganography: The application offers steganographic features, allowing you to conceal text or files within a JPEG image. Two algorithms are available: J-UNIWARD (content-adaptive, minimizes visual distortion, harder to detect) and F5 (matrix encoding, efficient embedding). The selected algorithm works with your chosen symmetric cipher to create the final steganogram. • Key Encapsulation (KEM): Securely exchange encryption passwords using the post-quantum ML-KEM mechanism (NIST FIPS 203). Two parties can establish a shared password without ever transmitting it directly, with protection against future quantum computer attacks. ◆ Differences between Free and PRO versions: The PRO version offers additional encryption algorithms, specifically Threefish 1024-bit, SHACAL-2 512-bit, and Paranoia C4 2048-bit (a cascade of Threefish–Serpent–AES–SHACAL-2). While the free version can decrypt data encrypted by these advanced algorithms, the ability to encrypt data using them is exclusive to the PRO version. The PRO version also provides a key to activate the PRO versions of our desktop applications: Paranoia File & Text Encryption for PC, Paranoia Text Encryption for PC, and S.S.E. File Encryptor for PC. • The application is directly compatible with macOS (10.15 and later). Versions for other systems and platforms are available on the application's homepage (download section - https://paranoiaworks.mobi/download/). • An online (web-based) version, utilizing AES and client-side JavaScript, and other utilities are available at https://pteo.paranoiaworks.mobi

Al seleccionar encriptar, los usuarios pueden elegir el tipo de algoritmo de encriptación a utilizar y proporcionar los datos necesarios para realizar la encriptación. Estos datos pueden incluir un mensaje, una clave secreta y el tipo de cifrado deseado, por ejemplo, AES o DES. Una vez que los datos son ingresados, la aplicación realiza una llamada a la API correspondiente para realizar la encriptación. La respuesta de la API se muestra en pantalla, mostrando el resultado de la encriptación. Del mismo modo, al seleccionar la opción de desencriptar, los usuarios pueden elegir el tipo de algoritmo de desencriptación y proporcionar los datos necesarios, como el texto cifrado y la clave secreta. La aplicación realiza una llamada a la API correspondiente para realizar la desencriptación y muestra el resultado en pantalla. Además de la funcionalidad principal, la aplicación también ofrece un historial de uso de las APIs. Cada vez que se realiza una encriptación o desencriptación, se guarda un registro en el historial que muestra la fecha y hora de la operación, el algoritmo utilizado y los datos de entrada y salida. El historial permite a los usuarios revisar y realizar un seguimiento de las operaciones de encriptación y desencriptación realizadas anteriormente. Esto proporciona un registro de todas las acciones realizadas y permite verificar y revisar los resultados en cualquier momento.
